  Unsecured Credit Is Coming Onchain | Benjamin and Weso, Cap — S2 E7

  Aug 5, 202616 minS2

  Benjamin Sarquis Peillard, founder and CEO of Cap, argues DeFi yield has been circular from the start. Bitcoin-backed lending, basis trading, inflationary tokens: on his read, the returns come from crypto paying crypto. Cap connects onchain capital to the productive economy through unsecured credit, the largest credit market in the world, and one DeFi has never been able to touch. Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Benjamin and Cap CTO Weso break down the three-sided market behind insured private credit, how institutions are borrowing onchain without posting collateral, and how tokenized RWAs can become the next underwriting asset. IN THIS EPISODE Cap's three-sided market: depositors bring dollars, institutions borrow unsecured, underwriters post collateral and pick the borrower How regulated asset managers can become distribution channels What's the borrow demand for unsecured credit onchain How onchain underwriting is faster than a traditional credit committee Why retail should never underwrite institutions directly What secures unsecured borrowing, and the role RWAs can play Composability as the hardest concept to explain to traditional finance STAY CONNECTED WITH CENTRIFUGE Website → https://centrifuge.io Blog → https://centrifuge.io/blog X (Twitter) → https://x.com/centrifuge LinkedIn → https://linkedin.com/company/centrifugehq Newsletter → https://share.hsforms.com/19j_mbuUsTiyf84HcIsndswnup3o

  Vaults to Power Every Financial Product Onchain | J. Offerijns & F. Gartenmeister, Centrifuge — S2E5

  Jul 16, 202614 minS2

  Vaults started as a yield product for DeFi users. Jeroen Offerijns, CTO at Centrifuge Labs, and Frederik Gartenmeister, Head of Product at Centrifuge Labs, argue they're becoming the core primitive that enables any financial product — funds, ETFs, securitizations — to run natively onchain. Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Mariia Yatsenko, Head of Marketing at Centrifuge Labs, sits down with Jeroen and Frederik to break down institutional vaults: what makes them different from standard DeFi vaults, why asynchronous execution is a feature not a bug, and what the road from tokenization to native onchain origination actually looks like. IN THIS EPISODE 👇 Why vaults are becoming the core primitive for onchain finance — not just yield products What "institutional" means in the context of vault infrastructure Why asynchronous execution is a safeguard, not a limitation Onchain PM: managing one portfolio across multiple chains Accounting tokens: how Centrifuge solves the settlement phase problem The three stages of onchain finance: tokenization, onchain asset management, native origination What higher risk-adjusted yields look like when RWAs and DeFi assets are combined in one vault LEARN MORE LEARN MORE Dive deeper into institutional vaults with Centrifuge's technical series: Centrifuge Expands Its Institutional Vault Stack with the Onchain Portfolio Manager → https://centrifuge.io/blog/onchain-pm The Evolution of the Onchain Capital Stack → https://centrifuge.io/blog/from-tokenization-to-vaults-onchain-capital-stack Beyond Instant Settlement: The Standard for Asynchronous Vaults → https://centrifuge.io/blog/asynchronous-vaults The Programmable Vault Stack: Customize Behavior Without Rewriting the Core → https://centrifuge.io/blog/the-programmable-vault-stack STAY CONNECTED WITH CENTRIFUGE Website → https://centrifuge.io Blog → https://centrifuge.io/blog X (Twitter) → https://x.com/centrifuge LinkedIn → https://linkedin.com/company/centrifugehq Newsletter → https://share.hsforms.com/19j_mbuUsTiyf84HcIsndswnup3o

  The Chance to Engage Investors Like Never Before | Jonathan Casterline, Van Eck — S2 E4

  Jul 7, 202614 minS2

  Jonathan Casterline, Product Manager for Digital Assets at Van Eck, discusses where the firm goes next in tokenization. Van Eck holds roughly $4 to $5 billion in digital assets, primarily within the ETF space. A year after launching their tokenized Treasury fund, the firm is working out how to move past experimentation and drive the institutional demand that the next generation of onchain products will need. Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Graham Nelson, DeFi Product Lead at Centrifuge, sits with Jonathan to discuss the evolution of asset management, the challenges of distribution in a nascent regulatory landscape, and why tokenization's greatest value lies in direct investor engagement. IN THIS EPISODE 👇 Van Eck's move from ETFs into tokenization Learnings from their first tokenized fund and how the industry evolves Debunking "cheaper, faster, better": the intermediaries tokenization was supposed to remove are still in the room The marketing problem: what you can actually say once a security is onchain Standardization across private funds, wrappers, and custodial models The relevance of direct investor engagement STAY CONNECTED WITH CENTRIFUGE Website → https://centrifuge.io Blog → https://centrifuge.io/blog X (Twitter) → https://x.com/centrifuge LinkedIn → https://linkedin.com/company/centrifugehq Newsletter → https://share.hsforms.com/19j_mbuUsTiyf84HcIsndswnup3o

  RWAs Are Proven as Collateral — Now Comes Scale | Sebastian Pulido, Aave Labs — S2 E3

  Jun 23, 202616 minS2

  RWAs can be used as collateral onchain. That part is proven. Sebastian Pulido, Director, Institutional & DeFi Business, at Aave Labs, argues the harder problem is what comes next: market structure, liquidation speed, and getting tokenized assets into the hands of investors who will never touch a Web3 wallet. Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Graham Nelson, DeFi Product Lead at Centrifuge, sits down with Sebastian to break down how Aave Horizon is evolving, what Aave V4 unlocks for RWAs, and why the DeFi mullet — fintech front end, DeFi rails in the back — is the real distribution model. IN THIS EPISODE 👇 What Aave Horizon is and why it was built specifically for tokenized assets Who is actually buying RWAs onchain today and what they want The liquidation problem: why RWA settlement speed creates a unique challenge for DeFi lending markets Aave V4's hub and spoke model and what it means for RWA collateral Why fintech distribution — not DeFi apps — is the real unlock for institutional adoption Sebastian's bet: 5-10x RWA TVL in the Aave ecosystem within a year STAY CONNECTED WITH CENTRIFUGE Website → https://centrifuge.io Blog → https://centrifuge.io/blog X (Twitter) → https://x.com/centrifuge LinkedIn → https://linkedin.com/company/centrifugehq Newsletter → https://share.hsforms.com/19j_mbuUsTiyf84HcIsndswnup3o

  Credit markets are $200 trillion. Crypto-backed loans are $60 billion. Paul Frambot, co-founder and CEO of Morpho, argues DeFi has barely scratched the surface, and the missing piece isn't more crypto collateral, it's fixed-rate, fixed-term obligations.<br /><br />Recorded live at the RWA Summit in Cannes for Season 2 of DeFi Drip, Graham Nelson, DeFi Product Lead at Centrifuge, sits down with Paul to break down how Morpho is becoming the lending infrastructure layer underneath fintech, exchanges, and now RWA collateral.<br /><br />IN THIS EPISODE 👇 <br />- How Morpho became the backend for the major exchanges' earn products <br />- Why RWAs are...
